Good cover Russ, you stumbled at the beginning but picked it right uo.

dino at 74 years old I am entitled to a few stumbles lol we just called it out and played it no rehearsal thanks smile

Sorry Russ I thought you had practiced.

not to fret my friend I practice at home a few hours a day but i decided to treat this song like it hasn't been done before it sure is more fun to take that approach smile

and a great time was had by all....well done.

i see there was a blue light, was that the cops coming?

Hi Phill  I had the same thoughts about the blue light lol but it is part of the bass players lighting system thanks for the comments. just curious about what's going on with GB and the exit thing are they going to re-vote?

I have not played this song in at least 20 years but that didn't stop us lol the bass player Howard Decker takes the chores of singing this John Cougar Mellencamp classic from 1982 . Jam sessions are about having fun mistakes are made but no big deal keep on a pickin smile

Man, that must have been fun,  I had fun just listening!  Great tunes.

I was BJ  we are putting up a green screen on the wall so I can utilize my video software and create some crazy backgrounds to go with the music we also are recording each song so this will allow me to use my Ozone advanced 7 mastering program to fine tune the audio tracks more to follow thanks! smile

Thanks for your comments Bluejeep, unclejoe, & dino we all appreciate it and were still moving things around in the studio and recording everything we do some things are a little rough on the edges but in time we hope to fine tune our sound, the best thing is we are all friends no squabbles. smile

I like this very much and can't wait to hear the full band giving it what for.

I kinda thought that's what the mutt was up to. As you've got video evidence are you taking it to the cops so they can prosecute? At first I thought she might be photo bombing you....or should that be video bombing?

You've got more guts than me, I couldn't give full volume in a park on my own. Did you get any busking pennies?

We rehearse on Tuesday and Wednesday and they have had time to watch the video so learning it should be easier, normally people are really good about cleaning up after there pets here so this comes as a surprise to me thanks for watching Phill and as soon as we get a good video take on it I will upload it. I really wasn't busking so no pennies lol

I re-posted this song on You Tube since My Space is a dead zone these days and now that I have some musicians to play with I would like to record another version

AWESOME SONG !

ditto what everyone else has commented !

I was giggling though when I saw your wife (i'm assuming)  drag the hose around the yard in the background......  smile


Way to go... loved it !

Jim

Jim Thanks for giving a listen and the kind words, however I am not married and that is not my yard it is a small park across the street from where I live, the lady I don't know and she was walking her dog on a leash who crapped and she did not clean up the mess but fortunately it was far enough away from me so I didn't have to smell the little critters droppings. lol

Thanks Bill for leaving a comment on my video, It was a beautiful day in a small park I just finished composing the lyrics the day before I find it easier to play the bar chord with my pinky then with the 3rd finger(less stress) and better accuracy. smile

Righteous. See my other comments on YT.

Great voice and I love seeing those fingers stretch on that fretboard. smile

Loved it, my friend!

Looks and sounds like you all having a good time there Russ.
Nice guitar playing etc always like an instrumental smile

Hi Ark thanks for the comment,Yes it's good to get back in the saddle and jam with some live musicians for a change especially your friends. We have some projects in mind and this studio makes it a lot easier to get at it. smile
